I need to be at a job in Peterhead on tuesday morning. I HAVE to be there BEFORE 8am. Whats the road out there like in the morning? How long will it take from Aberdeen? :)

I know i could just look at the aa route planner or something, but im looking for local knowledge here folks.

Allow yourself at least an hour, just in case the roads are icy.

West End, I would say a common starting point would be the junction of Anderson Drive and Kings Gate.

Yes Bad dog, I had thought about an hour.

Sleepy, allow yourself an hour the roads have been really icy as the griting on the side of the road leaving Aberdeen haven't been done as well as the roads going in, don't ask me why.

I've seen a few bad smashes recently :( one of them was Jim from Macduff in his MINI.......
